An excellent introductory text
Meta-analysis, as both an applied and theoretical science, continues to develop from its rather humble beginnings. Since most physicians lack a strong background in quantitative science, rigorous statistical approaches to clinical decision making have been slow to gain widespread support. Despite its limitations, meta-analysis is proving to be an important vehicle for making sense of the increasingly overwhelming amount of published data in the biomedical sciences. Petitti's book goes a long way in demystifying meta-analysis for the rank and file and also serves as an excellent introduction to the field for the more statistically literate. clearest yet description this topic
In a forest of mirky and arcane descriptions of a field that has come to dominate medical research and policy making, this book stands out for its clarity.Dr. Petitti speaks a language that normal people can understand.She avoids jargon and frequently uses quantitative examples that make it easy to plug in your own problems and directly apply her lessons to your tasks.This is easily the best book in print on this topic ...

Great Book
I like this book very much. It is very thorough and comprehensive regarding needs assesment.

Dense
It gets a 3 because it is full of information but no more because it is a dense and dreary text. Reading the postscript a few times helps put it in perspective but that is no substitute for good editing. The "practical guide" subtitle is not appropriate. ... Read more

The "true" colour of healthcare...
Although this book is based in the U.S., so much is the same in Canada. I would highly recommend this book for nurses [who may be trying to figure out 'what it's all about Alfie'], for nursing students and no doubt, the public - so they can gain a better understanding of what it is that nurses are up against. As one wise person put it - it's a pity that these corporate entities in charge of running our healthcare, know the cost of everything...yet the value of nothing ("The Peter Principle")! So much needless suffering all for a race to the "bottom-line"/dollar. Thank you for such an intelligent book! ... Read more

Wonderful peripheral brain
great quick reference for the "I need to know this now" type of information.An excellent job and excellent tool for teaching med students and residents

Fills a very large gap in pediatric medicine
The Philadelphia Guide:Inpatient Pediatrics fills a significant gap in practical pediatric texts.Harriet Lane has long been the standard, but is difficult to use, impractical at times, and incomplete.This book, which conveniently fits in a white coat pocket, is an indispensible resource for medical students and pediatric residents and fills the holes that Harriet leaves open.It give practical and complete, yet concise information on presentation and management of the diseases commonly encountered by the pediatric inpatient physician.As a new pediatric resident, this book has become the most indispensible resource in my pocket.

One of the Best in the Business
As a user of harrriet lane for years...This book goes beyond.As an easy to read, comprehensive resource for almost everything you will see as an inpatient house officer, I would recommend keeping it with you at all times.It is filled with all the questions you find yourself often looking up on those late night calls.It gives you the one line answers you are always looking for.It has information on conditions from the most basic to the most obscure and what you need to know about them.It provides answers to treatment, diagnosis, and guidelines.
